“It’s quite a coincidence. Wanwan’s birthday is on the same day as our Ah Zui. The young couple can celebrate together in the future.”
“Yes, such a coincidence. Only four years apart.”
Jiang Wanting: “?!”
Was it really that coincidental? She already knew Shen Zui’s birthday, but she had never expected the original owner to share the exact same birthday as him.
Everyone ate and chatted, covering all topics they could think of. Strangely, both families carefully avoided mentioning Shen Zui’s career in the entertainment industry.
Shen Zui raised his wrist to check the time. “Sorry, I have something to attend to. I’ll leave first.”
“Ah, Ah Zui.” Madam Shen stood up and called after him.
After Shen Zui left, Jiang Wanting inexplicably let out a breath of relief. Damn it, why did her idol feel so different from the rumors online? That aura had nearly made her unable to breathe.
What a pity she forgot to ask for an autograph. No—no. She was now Jiang Wanting, not Song Ci. She had to remain composed. Composed.
……
Night, Jiang Family residence.
Jiang Wanting set up a new Weibo account. She had one before, but she could no longer use it. Those people had believed she was dead—if her account suddenly came back to life, it would scare them to death.
After registering, she changed the default username to “Every Night Want to Sleep with sz.” She originally wanted “Every Day Want to Sleep with sz.” but it was already taken, so she had no choice but to settle for “Every Night Want to Sleep with sz.”
She followed Shen Zui’s personal account and his studio account. Looking at her newly created Weibo page, she smiled with satisfaction.
Good. The journey of chasing stars had officially begun.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
The phone in her hand suddenly vibrated. A WeChat chat window popped up. She tapped in.
【College Girls’ Passion Group Chat】
[Liu Yiwen: @Jiang Wanting Wanwan hasn’t been active lately.]
[Liu Yiwen: She doesn’t even go clubbing anymore. Xuanxuan even asked me today why she isn’t replying on WeChat.]
[Liang Mengmeng: Has Miss Jiang turned over a new leaf?]
[Liang Mengmeng: silly smile jpg.]
[Zhu Yiya: Impossible. Wanwan loves to play the most.]
[He Jing: Brothers and sisters, same old place tonight.]
Jiang Wanting opened the group info and discovered she was actually the group owner. There were over ten members, both male and female.
So these were all the original owner’s friends?
After thinking for a moment, she replied in the group:
I’ve lost my memory. You all should already know that. From now on, don’t invite me to any events.
……
Hotel.
Lin Zhongye kept thinking about being shut out by the Jiang Family that day. His pride as a man had been severely wounded.
He opened his mouth…
Liu Yiwen cried out in pain. “Ahh…”
“Brother Ye… what are you doing! It hurts, it hurts!”
Hearing the woman’s cry, Lin Zhongye froze for two seconds before finally letting go. A trace of guilt flashed in his eyes as he said hoarsely: ”Wenwen, sorry.”
Liu Yiwen wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered into his ear: ”Brother Ye, that stupid woman seems to have really lost her memory. What should we do next?”
Lin Zhongye sneered. “So what if she lost her memory? Not a single cent of what she owes can be missing.”
He was an illegitimate son of the Lin Family. Even after being brought back, the old master still looked down on him.
Madam Lin hated his mother deeply and treated him like a thorn in her side. But was that his fault? It was his father who couldn’t control himself while his mother was pregnant.
Liu Yiwen chuckled softly. She had originally met Lin Zhongye through Jiang Wanting, then seduced him and learned of his plan.
She leaned closer and whispered: ”Brother Ye, you haven’t slept with that stupid woman yet, have you?”
A trace of hostility flashed in Lin Zhongye’s eyes. Although Jiang Wanting had agreed to be his girlfriend, he had not even kissed her, let alone slept with her.
“Why would I sleep with her, baby? That stupid woman is boring and ignorant.”
Lin Zhongye said: ”She can’t compare to you at all, baby.”
Liu Yiwen shivered slightly. “So annoying!”
She hugged his neck tighter, a cold smile curling her red lips. So what if Jiang Wanting was beautiful? In the end, Lin Zhongye still fell into her hands.
She believed Lin Zhongye would take care of Jiang Wanting. Her family background wasn’t great, so clinging to Lin Zhongye was still a good choice. Even if he was an illegitimate son, the Lin Family would not abandon him.
……
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day Jiang Wanting moved into Shen Zui’s apartment.
The ones who could not bear to see her leave the most were Lin Xinya and Ye Lan.
Although Jiang Wanting was not Ye Lan’s biological daughter, Ye Lan treated her as her own. She had always dreamed of having a daughter, and now she could only hope her eldest daughter-in-law would give her a granddaughter.
Wei Luoqin had given birth to Jiang Shurui but had not become pregnant again since then. The other two sons were nearly thirty and had not even shown signs of a girlfriend, constantly avoiding blind dates.
“Dad, should we send Aunt Zhang to take care of Wanwan?” Lin Xinya asked.
Grandfather Jiang thought for a moment. “No need. Sending someone over would only give others something to talk about.”
Lin Xinya thought it made sense. The Shen Family would surely send someone to take care of Shen Zui anyway. A villa like that could not possibly be without staff. Her daughter was only twenty, yet she was already moving in with another man. She sighed, feeling that she had failed her in the end.
“Alright, it’s getting late.”
After getting into the car, Jiang Wanting leaned against the window and looked at the Jiang Family members outside. She felt reluctant to leave. She had only lived here for half a month, but they had treated her very well.
She had never experienced such care before. In her heart, she had already begun to treat them as family.
“Uncle Liu, let’s drive. Be careful on the road.”
Jiang Wanting waved at them. Her nose felt slightly sore. Partings never felt good.
The new house was just over a kilometer from her school—a three-hundred-square-meter villa with a private courtyard. When she entered, she looked around.
Luxurious indeed.
European-style interior design, polished floors, a crystal chandelier hanging elegantly overhead. Simple, refined, comfortable, yet undeniably luxurious.
“Fourth Young Madam.”
Jiang Wanting’s black obsidian-like almond eyes looked at the housekeeper in front of her. Fourth Young Madam? So Shen Zui was the fourth young master of the Shen Family. She didn’t particularly like the number four, but since it was connected to Shen Zui, she accepted it.
“Hello.”
“I will be responsible for your daily care along with Fourth Young Master. You can call me Mama Rong.” the woman said, observing Jiang Wanting carefully.
Good figure, good fertility potential, fair skin, beautiful face—very suitable for her young master.
She nodded in satisfaction. She had worked for the Shen Family for nearly thirty years and had watched Shen Zui grow up. That was why she had been assigned here.
“Since you and Fourth Young Master are not married yet, you won’t be living together. Your room is on the second floor, directly across from the young master.”
Hearing this, Jiang Wanting felt slightly disappointed. The Shen Family was quite proper. Before coming, she had even wondered whether she would end up living in the same room as Shen Zui—and whether she would comply or not. It seemed she had been overthinking.
She followed Mama Rong to look at her room.
A pink princess-style bed, sheer curtains gently swaying, soft pink and white décor with a delicate sofa—cute yet elegant.
After Mama Rong left, Jiang Wanting lazily leaned on the sofa, scrolling through Weibo. Ever since Shen Zui posted that selfie, he had not logged in again.
